Summary: | In recent decades, there has been growing interest in the quantization of black holes using techniques developed in loop quantum cosmology. Due to the quantum geometry effect, the resulting quantum-corrected black hole provides non-singular models. The quantization scheme can be roughly divided into four types: (1) the <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>μ</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> scheme, (2) the <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mover accent="true"><mi>μ</mi><mo>¯</mo></mover></semantics></math></inline-formula> scheme, (3) the generalized <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>μ</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> scheme, and (4) the quantum collapsing model. This paper provides an introduction of the loop quantum black hole model, a summary of the progress made in this field, as well as the quantum effective dynamics and physical applications of these models.
